Patriotism push: Sam Manekshaw, Brig Usman now in NCERT textbooks
NEW DELHI: The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has released revised Urdu and English textbooks, celebrating the sacrifices of Indias defence personnel and the courage of Indias queens. The objective is to inspire students and motivate them to contribute to nation-building. The updated textbooks are aligned with the National Education Policy 2020. The Ministry of Defence, in a statement on the Urdu Class VII book and the Class VIII English and Urdu textbooks, said, The newly added chapters provide students with inspiring stories of courage and duty. Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Indias first Field Marshal, is remembered for his exceptional leadership and strategic skills. Brigadier Mohammad Usman and Major Somnath Sharma, recipients of the Mahavir Chakra and Param Vir Chakra (posthumously), gave their lives in service of the nation and remain symbols of supreme sacrifice. To promote the National War Memorial (NWM) as a key national landmark, the Ministry of Defence has partnered with the Ministry of Education and NCERT to include NWM and related references in school curricula. Students will not only learn about Indias military history but also absorb important lessons on resilience, empathy, emotional intelligence, and the significance of nation-building, the Ministry added.

Leading 90 soldiers on November 3, 1947, he faced a brutal attack by 500 invaders from Pakistan in the Kashmir Valley and saved Srinagar, sacrificing his life. His famous words, I shall not withdraw an inch but will fight to the last man and the last round, are highlighted. Another hero featured is Captain Vikram Batra, the D Company commander and Shershah of Kargil, who captured Point 5140 on June 20, 1999, before succumbing to his injuries. The Grade 7 English book has a full unit titled Bravehearts, presented as a Bengaluru student visiting the memorial in Delhi and describing the experience in a letter. Heroes like Lance Naik Albert Ekka and Major Padmapani Acharya of the Kargil War are featured. The textbooks also showcase the bravery of Rani Abbakka Devi, who drove the Portuguese out of Ullal in Karnataka, and Padma Bhushan awardee Rani Gaidinlu, a Naga leader who led uprisings against the British in Manipur, Nagaland, and Assam.

PM Modi sought representation, Karnataka DCM tells council
BENGALURU: Stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Bengaluru on Sunday, asked him to give a representation on the Tunnel Road Project, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Thursday informed the Council that the PM was impressed by the Ragigudda Double Decker Project and gave a go-ahead. Now, the state government will come up with a 44 km-long double-decker project for Bengaluru, and both BBMP and BMRCL will share the cost on a 50:50 ratio basis, he said. Replying to a question by BJP MLC CT Ravi, the Bengaluru development minister shared details of the Tunnel Road Project and its feasibility. The PM said India is seen through Bengaluru, hence, we asked him for cooperation for the Tunnel Road Project. The PM asked me for a representation, and he assured that he would look into it, the DCM said. He added that about 25 years ago, when he was urban development minister, Bengalurus population was 70 lakh, which has now touched 1.40 crore. Vehicles number 1.23 crore. The city has 25 lakh software engineers, compared to 13 lakh in California. To ease traffic, the Tunnel Road Project, Double-Decker Project, and roads in the Buffer Zone are being planned for the city, he stated. Further, he said Union minister Nitin Gadkari was informed about the traffic situation, and he suggested to visit Mumbai and study the situation there. After a study of 1.6 years, we decided to go ahead with the Tunnel Road Project, he reiterated. Judges, officials and citizens from around Hebbal take 45 minutes to reach Vidhana Soudha and its surroundings. Hence, we invited a global tender on the Build, Own, Operate and Transfer model. The state government will fund 40 per cent, and the chosen agency will invest 60 per cent. The government has allocated Rs 800 crore for land acquisition, and most of the land for the project falls under government departments, except St Johns Hospital. The land will be acquired, the DCM said, adding that he was ready for any inquiry if there is any wrongdoing. The DCM further added that the tunnel can accommodate three vehicles, along with an additional vehicle, during emergencies, while its construction will cost Rs 770 crore per km. On a question related to land acquisition for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), the DCM said Rs 27,000 crore is needed for it. With 5,000 houses located near Gottigere, a part of the PRR, action to be taken is yet to be decided.

The court, which had earlier reserved the judgment on July 24, pronounced the order on Thursday after hearing an appeal filed by the Karnataka government challenging the Karnataka HC order granting bail to Darshan, Gowda and other accused persons in theRenukaswamy murder case. While reading out the operative part of the verdict, Justice Pardiwala said, Justice Mahadevan has pronounced a very erudite judgment. It is ineffable. It conveys a message that, however big the accused may be, he or she is not above the law. He also stated that it contains a strong message that the justice delivery system at any level should ensure at any cost that the rule of law is maintained. No man is above law or below it.

The court asked Siddharth Luthra, appearing for the Karnataka government, that if it came to know of any wrongdoing in jails about being provided 5-star treatment, then we will call and summon you to answer. In earlier hearings, the court termed asa perverse exercise of discretionary power used by the Karnataka HC in granting bail toKannada actor,Darshan, Gowda and five others in the Renukaswamy murder case, as it had on July 24 reserved its decision on the appeal filed by the State government seeking cancellation of their bail. This is the perverse exercise of discretionary powers in grant of bail to accused, remarked, the two-judge bench of the top court. The top court, before reserving the verdictheard submissions of senior advocates Luthra and Siddharth Dave and others, representing the accused in the case. Questioning the HC for granting bail in such a manner, the top court pointed out that Has the high court applied its mind judicially?, as it noted that the trial was yet to start whereas all the accused persons were granted bail. To be very honest with you (Dave), we are not convinced with the manner in which the high court has exercised its discretion, Justice Pardiwala opined. Renukaswamy murder case: Ramya seeks action after Darshan fans abuse her Luthra had argued that the bail granted by the HC was unjustified, especially in a case involving serious charges under Section 302 (Murder) of the IPC (Indian Penal Code). He even went to the extent to contend that the HC effectively granted a pre-trial acquittal without properly examining key evidence, including statements of eyewitnesses and forensic findings. On the other hand, Dave defending the HC's bail order, said thatthe investigation was flawed and that the credibility of the eyewitnesses was questionable due to delayed statements. The charges are yet to be framed and the trial has not commenced, he had told the top court. The bench clarified that itwill not repeat the mistake of the high court. We are not here to decide guilt or innocence, only to examine whether bail was rightly granted, Justice Pardiwala told Dave. According to the prosecution,Darshan, a 47-year-old Kannadaactor, was arrested on June 11, 2024 in connection with the murder of 33-year-old Renukaswamy, a native of Chitradurga. The victims body was discovered near a stormwater drain in Bengaluru on June 9, 2024. After the investigation, the Bengaluru police filed a charge sheet and arrayed Pavithra as accused number 1 andDarshanas the accused number 2.
